Pre-ordered from CD Universe. $17.98 + $3.99 shipping. Best price. Even if Amazon's price drops, they sometimes still take up to 5 days to arrive coming from midwest to NY. CDU is usually 2 days from CT(no tax), and they ship new releases on Monday.

As it goes, I've been pretty ambivalent with regards liking both the Finer Moments and new Lather covers but I'm now starting to find them pretty cool and endearing (perhaps it's just acceptance/getting used to with a bit of time and familiarity?). Ultimately, of course, it's the musical content that really matters; I've pre-ordered both- like others, Lather only as price for is (currently) so good- and am really curious to see whether anything different, apart from the cover, has been done with the latter.

Side B:1. You Never Know Who Your Friends Are 2’20”2. Uncle Rhebus 17’45”Total: 20’05”

Side C:1. Music From The Big Squeeze 0’42”2. Enigmas 1 Thru 5 8’15”3. Pumped And Waxed 4’19”4. There Is No Heaven From Where Slogans Go To Die 4’37”5. Squeeze It, Squeeze It, Squeeze It 3’17”Total: 21’10”

Side D:1. The Subcutaneous Peril 19’41”Total: 19’41”

New Läther cover simply look like an outtake from Joe's Garage photo session (which it probably is).IMO not better nor worst than the 'cow' cover but way better than Finer Moments' cover.

Looking forward to the music, Hate the cover. Hated the Congress cover too. Honestly, I have no idea what people would like about this cover.

That's one hate + one hated and you hate why people wouldn't hate this too.Why RK thats the most hatefull post I've ever seen from you.

I call that art generic collage'.FZ dabbled in the college' form of art and tryed crossing over with the medium into music.Sorta like Dylan's electric folk. That might explain someone's anane attempt to recreate a generic Zappa art form and use it to sell music.Dumb,I know.....But the hate RK? The cover just sez: This is where the best music is!

Hey frogfog - check the sources, you'll find out there never was a JG photo session - and the new cover is simply another shot from the Lather session that also yielded the covers for JG 1, JG 2 & 3 and Baby Snakes

There neither was a Läther session, I believe -- just another Norm Seeff photoshoot ca. early/mid-1977, nothing more, nothing less.

Thats a very sunny way of looking at it, but the thing is... my hate has grown! The colors look like they are chosen for a run-down kitchen. FZ's body just looks inhuman and South Park-ish. The hand and nose don't appear that way because the artist's vision decided that it should be so. Those are the shapes made by someone who is incapable of drawing hands and noses, as they look like the way I would draw them and I can't draw for shit.If I wanted to be optimistic about the cover, I'd say that I could add up the kitchen-like colors with the spirals that could mimic heating coils on a stove and tie that to the imagery of BWS. Still a dreary cover, but that way it would make a bit of sense.

Somehow I think the OSD cover (which I found was nice) would have been great for this one (1969-era, and such..). Hopefully there'll be a nice Mystery-Disc-style booklet with an entire overkill of late-60s b&w photograpic reproductions, which could make for a great... oh, I repeat myself once again --Worst case would be the front image rehashed on the CDs themselves, that sure as hell were enough to make me wanna vomit!
